Athens. Any and all questions are welcome!
WINTER FESTIVAL
On January 29 - January 30, the Mentors will be hosting a weekend-long festival

NEW ADVENTURER'S FAIR!
Join the Promethean Mentor Society on Tuesday, February 1st, for the New
Adventurer's Fair! Beginning at 8 PM EST, mentors and hosts will be on hand
to answer your questions, share tips & hints, lead tours and much more!
Join in informal discussions in the Profession tents, learn to hunt in the
exterminator's tent, or visit the zoo.
To get there, follow the path by the Peiraic gate (type DIR PEIRAIC GATE for directions). Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to meet with fellow adventurers and explore the online world of Hercules and Xena!
If you have any difficulty finding the Fair, type ASSIST and a host will be happy to help you. We hope to see you there!

2. Athenian News:
IMPROVED VERB!
CHIDE is new and improved! Using CHIDE CONFIRM, you never need worry about
accidentally chiding a fellow adventurer when you meant to chuckle instead!
NEW PIERCING TOOLS!
Doughnuts aren't the only things with holes in them...using their new piercing
tools, Athenians are now sporting places to show off their earrings, lip
rings and nose rings! Drop by "All That Glitters" in Athens for all the latest
piercing supplies.
BEFRIENDING MERCHANTS
Gone are the days when simply purchasing items from a shop was enough to
put you in good standing with the merchant. You now must make a deliberate
effort to become friends with and a good customer of a merchant. The good
news: Anyone who seeks to befriend a merchant should now find that they are
less likely to be greeted as strangers next time they stop by.
MYSTERIOUS WANDS!
One of the secrets of the Council of Al Khemi is out in Athens -- mysterious
wands! Just ask your friendly neighborhood alchemist for more details!

3. Premium News:
PREMIUM MEETING
Estate successors will hold their January meeting on Sunday, January 16th
at 7PM Eastern in the audience hall of the Diamond Estate. Join Morguena
to discuss the upcoming plans for the Estate!
NEW MERCHANTS!
Estate successors should keep their eyes open for a new merchant who will
be stopping by some time during the month of January, bringing a new product
line to town! This is in addition to return visits from Perizada and her
team of alteration experts from around the world!
